Pros

AWS treats new employees as customers through the onboarding process and are truly customer obsessed. The talent and intelligence of my co-workers has been a welcome benefit. The company isn't afraid of failure and is a place where innovation is highly encouraged. Work highly aligns to a greater purpose and my boss inspires me to be a better person. Feedback is viewed as a gift and upper management listens to suggestions.

Cons

The startup nature is great but also means there's usually room for improvement in most areas. Customers are prioritized over employees and at times the frugal nature of the organization is disappointing (like in all tech).

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
